Turned it on and no LEDs or button lights, reels did not lock. Sooo this is what I did. 1. Changed fuses and also checked with meter. -OK 2. Pulled CPU, checked for bent pins on bottom. -None 3. Scraped the second pin from the left on the power harness pins on the mother board. -Nope 4. Changed the power harness from the power supply to the mother board.-Nope. 5. Changed the mother board.-Nope 6. Changed the power supply-Yes Now the DBV will not light up or work. DBV cycles all the way through. This is what I have tried so far. 1. Set options 6 to 5 cents, options 5,8,9 to 1. And rechecked. 2. Set hopper limit to 300, lower jackpot to 5,998, credit limit 9,997 bill acceptor 9,996. (All from SP1271) 3. Changed cash cans, transporters, SP, power supply (vented type for DBV 200) Red lights on head lights up-Nope 4. Checked bulbs and pulled light board and checked for cracks or burns.-None What did I forget? hissy fit <This is an S+> « Last Edit: December 26, 2007, 08:39:06 AM by r273 » Report to moderator Logged I'm retired.....my job is having a good time with slots. e-Bay ID r273 Sr. Rookie member of Rick's SMAA.

I ran the bill acceptor lights in the output tests, 26 2. They did not work. I have not changed out the bill unit yet. It lights up so assume it should work. <Changed out transporter and bill head together from one machine to the next. Now I have 2 machines that the DBV does not work.> « Last Edit: December 26, 2007, 10:38:27 AM by r273 » Report to moderator Logged I'm retired.....my job is having a good time with slots. e-Bay ID r273 Sr. Rookie member of Rick's SMAA.

Also now you say you have 2 machines that don't work? Does the DBV that used to work no longer work on the original machine? I'm thinking bad DBV PS (check voltage output with a meter) on the original non-working machine.

The second machine did not work when I put back the original bill validator and the transport. I just re-seated it and it came back. applause The voltage reading is 12.27/8, on both PS.

They both work in a working machine. When I change transporter and bill head before, it did not work. Must not have seated properly. So there is nothing wrong with both of these.

You have 12 Volts feeding the bill head ... and you have the red LED's on the bill head illuminated, and the transport cycles. OK.. Nothing wrong with the power supply. no Does the machine work OK with coin-in? You said that you changed the Motherboard. Is this a known good motherboard that you swapped it with? Did you try swapping the motherboard back after you changed the main power supply? Report to moderator Logged r273 Sr. Resident Rookie Contributing Gold NLG Member.

Is this a known good motherboard that you swapped it with? Did you try swapping the motherboard back after you changed the main power supply? It was a used spare motherboard. I have not tried changing back to the original motherboard. I will try that tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ie the DBV is type 21 but the game requires a 22. Check the game that is working and make sure the one that is not does not require a different type.

Right now I am running Triple Diamond 5-line with the problem I having right now. Joe, I switched the motherboards. The original one did NOT work. No button lights and no LEDs, no stiffness on the reels. I put back my spare and everything came back EXCEPT the DVB light. Plays fine but no DVB light and it does not take any bills. Now I don't know if it WAS the main PS. Boy I just love having fun with these machines...when they work. yes One thing I am learning more and more, I think. rotflmao Report to moderator Logged I'm retired.....my job is having a good time with slots. e-Bay ID r273 Sr. Rookie member of Rick's SMAA.

Ie 12v which causes the power cycling but missing the 5v needed for the electronics.....

Thanks to CommTech reseach of all my posts on this problem, it was he who thought to ask if DBV connector was in J6 on the motherboard. It turns out J6 and J13 (printer connection) have the same connector. So I put them in the RIGHT set of pins and it worked. This lesson was hard learned. yes Report to moderator Logged I'm retired.....my job is having a good time with slots. e-Bay ID r273 Sr. Rookie member of Rick's SMAA.
